Italian cruiser Piemonte

''Piemonte'' was a unique protected cruiser built for the Italian ''Regia Marina'' (Royal Navy) in the 1880s by the British shipyard Armstrong Whitworth. She was the first major warship armed entirely with quick-firing (QF) guns and she was also the fastest cruiser in the world upon her completion in 1889. ''Piemonte'' was frequently deployed overseas, including a lengthy tour in East Asian waters from 1901 to 1904. She saw significant action during the Italo-Turkish War in 1911–12 in the Red Sea, where she frequently bombarded Ottoman ports. During the Battle of Kunfuda Bay in January 1912, she and two destroyers sank four Ottoman gunboats and forced ashore three more. ''Piemonte'' participated in World War I but she saw little action during the conflict. She remained in service until 1920, when she was scrapped.
==Design==
The first design by the newly-hired naval architect Philips Watts for Armstrong Whitworth, ''Piemonte'' was designed as an improved version of the . The ship was built as a speculative venture and was purchased by Italy on 30 July 1888 for delivery in six months. Her intended armament consisted of two and four guns, all breech-loading weapons, but the Italians insisted that she be equipped with six 6-inch QF guns. The changes to the magazines and the addition of large sponsons to accommodate the QF guns significantly delayed her completion.〔Brook 1999, pp. 14, 68; Brook 2003, p. 103〕 ''Piemonte'' was the first major warship to be armed with medium-caliber, quick-firing guns; these weapons would become the standard armament for cruisers in the 1890s.〔Sondhaus 2001, pp. 156–157〕
